C.1898, Wm L. Gilbert Clock Co., '76 Alarm, in complete as-found, operating condition.

Although the brass case has lost most of its nickel and the rear door is bent and rear glass cracked, this is in above average condition for what we usually see in this hard to find American alarm clock. We put a little oil on the alarm train to be sure it was complete and working; the bell actually makes nearly a full circle in its effort; it is a lot of motion visually. Note paper dial is original and good with company logo at top. Hands are all original. Front beveled glass with one corner chip; alarm set knob missing. Cost 4 dollars when new. Height 10.75 inches
